Description
What makes this guitar special? This guitar has a nice chunky response contrary to other guitars it shares the body style with and a nicely aged aesthetic to boot. The relic black nitro finish gives it a perfectly tenured look and will keep players from worrying about putting any marks in it. The satin finish medium-round neck causes very little friction and is an absolute breeze to play from the nut to the cutaway. It also features a dark ebony neck, adding an appropriate complement to the dark body as well as a slight addition to the overall tone. The pickups sound great in every position and are controlled by a standard set of knobs, so it is incredibly intuitive to dial in. With a fantastic industrial look and a sound to match, this unique Verrilli will surely be a faithful favorite in someone’s roster.
Condition: Outside of the purposeful relic job on this guitar, it is in excellent condition overall. There may be some light scratches or dings that were added after the initial relic, but are marginally noticeable and difficult to decipher from what was intentional. The frets show almost no wear and still have a lifetime left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Double cutaway body in Black Relic nitro finish. 3-ply black pickguard. Synchronized tremolo bridge with black saddles. Chrome/nickel hardware and pickup covers, all aged.
Neck: Medium round mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with white dot fret markers. Vintage-style tuning machines. Black and silver headstock emblem/ingot. “Verrilli” embossed logo. 1 11/16” nut width.
Electronics: Humbucking pickups with chrome/nickel covers. 1 x volume, 2 x tone. 5-way pickup selector.
Weight: 8 lbs 8.9 oz
Playability/Sound: This is a solid playing guitar with a slightly bigger neck profile than the modern versions of guitars that share the same body style. The satin finish on the neck makes it extremely easy and comfortable to move around without extra friction like many gloss finishes. The pickups sound great and have the extra chunk you’d expect out of humbuckers over traditional single-coils. Familiar setup to the classic, so it’s easy to dial in.
Case: Includes hardshell case.
